GiaK Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Hello. I've been doing some site maintenance at Everything Matters: Beyond Meds. I've added something to the archives, but it's back dated so I thought I'd share it here since it won't show up as new in a lot of venues. A site from over a decade ago was part of the foment that got me started writing and doing this work. Furious Seasons, by Philip Dawdy, really helped our movement get started. I have over the years saved some of his pieces to my site from time to time (it's no longer available but I sometimes pull stuff from the way back machine and I have his permission to do so) Today I posted over 83,000 words about lamictal withdrawal...from hundreds of commenters. I've not read it closely (for many years anyway....I followed it back in the day) ... and it's not formatted but it's the experience of so many people I wanted to save it. I had linked to it when it was originally created. anyway...it's here: ** 83,000 word document with hundreds of comments by Lamictal users coming off. - Comments about Lamictal withdrawal from Furious Seasons – https://beyondmeds.com/2007/07/26/lamictal-comments/ Everything Matters: Beyond Meds https://beyondmeds.com/ withdrawn from a cocktail of 6 psychiatric drugs that included every class of psych drug.
